I use Edge on both my Mac and my iPhone.

Drag and drop is not working on my iPhone because of touch regardless of Safari. It's the same on my touch enabled Dell laptop. It could be accomplished.
There are libraries like https://github.com/heyman/jquery-draggable-touch, but YMMV.

Using iOS 18 and Safari/Chrome browser.

From the requirements listed in the documentation:

what kind of things do you need to send the USB port? because that's achievable with any language, and that's possibile with a Powershell script, to start with. but I think Excel VBA is not the right tool for the job and it's not easy to drive something from it.

@Pabla said in New to Home Automation Looking for a Single app?:

Company's like Ring (Amazon) notoriously block third party use of their APIs at random, so what may work now will not be guaranteed to work in the future.

Good reason for folks like us to not choose those products.

The error message will be improved, but for reference for future readers, there are two ways to fix this when it happens:

Change the name of your local variable.
Explicitly declare and initialize your local variable at the start of your expression as explicitly local. For example, assuming alpha is the name of a global expression/variable but we want to use it as a local variable name:
```
 local alpha=0, each e in matchEntities( { capability: 'dimming' } ): alpha = alpha + 1
```

@toggledbits thanks for the help. I will eventually improve this code and apply capabilities only if the device is somewhat new/changed or at startup. OpenSprinklerController is peculiar, but I think I could manage to achieve this result.

This code is shared among my controllers, I've modified them to better handle updates. Thanks!

Not sure if your controller handles WiFi controlled devices?

As it says, this will need a Zwave hub to work.

Because the entities are saved in persistent storage with their states, and the capability definitions are stored (cloned to) the entities when extended, you still need to refresh.

At line 666 (!) of your mapDevice() function, where you are extending capabilities if given, you can use the extendCapabilities() method to extend an array of capabilities (eliminating your loop there that does pretty much the same thing). You could then add a test to see if there is a change to the version of your Controller class or the system capabilities, for example, and refresh based on that:

            // capabilities
            if (capabilities) {
                this.log.debug(5, "%1 [%2] adding capabilities: %3", this, id, capabilities);
                e.extendCapabilities( capabilities );
               
                // Check controller and system capabilities versions for changes
                const vinfo = { ...Capabilities.getSysInfo(), controller: VERSION };
                const hash = util.hash( JSON.stringify(vinfo) );
                if ( e._hash !== hash ) {
                    e.refreshCapabilities();
                    e._hash = hash;
                }
            }

You might also consider a mechanism to have it do the check only once per run/startup of the Controller instance, the first time it looks at the entity, rather than every time this method is called with capabilities.

Thanks for the response.

Regarding response: true, I got the point. I'll try to build an OpenAIController based on this and release it in the next couple of days.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I don't have files with local mapping, but I always reload entities and their capabilities, I don't need to use refres*?
